Mr.Herbert Morrison Condemns Dreams Of Easy Victory

“DAYDREAMS OF VICTORY.COMING BY ITSELF, WERE CONDEMNED BY THE HOME SECRETARY AND MINISTER SOF RHOME | SECURITY:IN A SPEECH IN SOUTH WALES

YESTERDAY.

"Such-daydreams,” «said Mr. · Herbert Morrison," "are unworhy of a great people. They are dangerous. They take the keen edge off our war effort at Home.

"We really must make up our minds that all the time we are facing the most deadly military power in history and that the pro- gress of defeating it has hardly vet even begun,

"Remember in the last war the Germans, certainly no stronger than to-day, fought a tremendous full-scale war on two major fronts throughout four years.

GERMAN HARDSHIP

AFFECTS MORALE

“IT IS UNTHINKABLE that the huge sacrifices which the German people have to undergo to-day do not affect their morale,” writes the “Berner Tagwacht.”

The disquieting air raids of the British air force admittedly only touch some parts of German territory, but the calling up of troops and other war measures affects all the people.

"Reports that a whole army, consisting of one million" men is now being trained, and issued with special equipment for the tropics, must have a disquieting effect when the experience. the Anican war is drawn upon.
